Smokeycabin, the comment about the trouble with parents in the corner is a legitimate issue. There is a solution though, anyone in the corner, or on the floor has to have a coach’s card. Then once that is obtained, tournament director’s enforce the code of conduct and appropriate behavior of coaches and start handing out appropriate discipline when individuals don't adhere to the code of conduct.
Unfortunately I don't think the code of conduct will help us here. The powers that be apparently didn't consider sportsmanship enough of a problem to be included in the document. The good news is, it all fit on one page of paper which I'm sure was the goal in the first place.
I wish people like smokeycabin had as much of a problem with people treating 8U-12U kids the same way he describes the 6U abuse.
